Ms. NewBabel
Who is Ms. NewBabel?
Ms. NewBabel is a 6-star Mineral-afflatus tank and shielder — the only character in R:1999 with a built-in Taunt, Counter, and Follow-Up Attack all in one ability. Pre-Euphoria she was considered sub-par, but her Euphoria transformation makes her arguably the best shielder in the game: she auto-casts her shield incantation whenever allies are attacked, allowing shields to stack on existing ones to enormous values while simultaneously buffing allied Critical Rate and triggering ripostes. Prydwen highlights her Euphoria-upgraded form as an extra-action machine and near-unkillable support who enables the J HP-loss counter team.
スキル概要
The only single ability in R:1999 combining a Taunt, a riposte Counter, and a Follow-Up Attack — active for two turns, redirecting enemy attacks to NewBabel.
Automatically casts her shield incantation when any ally is hit; shields stack with pre-existing shields, reaching massive values that keep even low-HP characters alive.
Her shields grant Critical Rate bonuses that scale with shield strength — higher shields directly translate to more Crit for the team.
Post-Euphoria she triggers extra riposte actions frequently, acting as an AP-positive source of extra turns in addition to her protective role.
ビルドガイド
🔮 最適遺物/エコーセット
Resonance: DEF and HP investment maximises shield strength, which directly scales the Crit Rate bonus she grants to allies. Reality DEF from Off the Scene's passive further amplifies her shield values.
⚔ 最適光円錐/武器
Off the Scene (Euphoria BiS, prydwen): Increases all allies' DMG Dealt by 1–2% per buff incantation NewBabel casts (including extra actions) and boosts her shield strength via 18–36% Reality DEF. Hopscotch (standard shielder option): Solid HP and DEF investment for keeping shield values high without a signature psychube. Her Second Life (budget alternative): Provides incidental healing alongside shielding; accessible and functional before Euphoria.
📊 サブステータス優先度
👥 最適パーティ
J HP-loss counter: Ms. NewBabel (Euphoria) + J + Semmelweis + Eternity — NewBabel's auto-shield prevents J from dying at low HP; Semmelweis and Eternity deliberately lower J's HP to maximise [Tempering] damage.
FUA shield: Ms. NewBabel + Flutterpage + 37 + Fatutu — her auto-shield stacks with Fatutu's shields for extreme team protection while Crit Rate buffs feed the FUA carry.
無課金向け判断
Ms. NewBabel is available on the standard banner — she is one of the most F2P-accessible 6-star units in the game. Off the Scene is her Euphoria BiS signature. Her second Life is a widely accessible budget psychube. Her Euphoria unlock is critical for her strongest build but even pre-Euphoria she provides reliable shielding.
よくある質問
What changed for Ms. NewBabel with Euphoria?
Her Euphoria 1 unlocked auto-cast of her shield incantation whenever allies are attacked — shields stack on top of existing ones, reaching enormous values that can be doubled when combined with J's own shields. She also gained the ability to buff allied Crit Rate scaling off shield strength and to trigger extra riposte actions, transforming her from a situational tank into one of the strongest shielders in the game.
Why is Ms. NewBabel the best partner for J?
She can overcap J's shields to massive sizes — Prydwen notes she easily doubles his shield values. This allows J to safely operate at very low HP (maximising [Tempering] counterattack damage) without any risk of dying. She is the only unit that makes J's low-HP scaling fully safe to exploit.
Is Ms. NewBabel on the standard banner?
Yes — she is one of a small number of 6-star characters obtainable from the standard banner, making her one of the most F2P-friendly limited-power units in R:1999. This makes her Euphoria upgrades more accessible since you can pull duplicates over time without spending limited currency.
What psychube should I use for Ms. NewBabel?
Off the Scene is her Euphoria BiS: it boosts all allies' DMG Dealt for every buff incantation she casts (auto-shield procs count) and increases her shield strength via 18–36% Reality DEF. Her Second Life is the budget accessible alternative that adds incidental healing to her support toolkit.
